Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Julius Randle scored more in 2025-26, 1.0 points a game apart (21.1 vs 20.1), on Randle's heavier usage (25.8% vs 22.4%).

Bane is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.7% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Randle (5.0 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Randle (6.7 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Randle on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 per 100 possessions, against +2.2 for Bane; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bane $39.4M through 2028-29, Randle $33.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
